Embedding audio files on facebook wall is tricky since there is no direct way to upload a mp3 file on to the facebook atleast for now, recently i wanted to share a mp3 audio file on my wall but unfortunately facebook allows only videos and pictures but if we try to upload we get a format exception and it will be automatically discarded by FB so is there any way to upload the mp3 or audio file on to the FB? yes we can do it easily but it takes a small detour below are the steps on how to do it.
Since there is no way to upload a mp3 files on facebook we have to host it or upload it else where, i am using cloudapp as my ftp and uploading it there, just signup there for a free account
Now login into the cloudapp and click on "Select a file on your computer" bar as shown in below pic, now a file browse dialogue will open browse and attach the file
Now you can see the list of uploaded file now click on the music icon as show in below pic
Clicking on music icon will take you to download page now right click on the download button and copy the download URL as shown in below pic
Now login to your facebook click on link on your wall and paste the URL as shown in below pic
Thats it, you are done now you can see the facebook automatically linking in to their player see below pic
As of now this is the only way to do it, hosting the mp3 in one of the file storeage or ftp website and pasting the hotlink on our wall if you know any other shortest method do comment

It seems that mp3 link embedding no longer works in facebook (it worked before).
i'm very glad that recorded a tape of my family, then they were little, i know that they'll be piss'ed, but i'm very proud i did and i would like to share... Nicole & Alice 1988

I have a problem!
When i put the copy link (from the download button) to the facebook wall, it gives my file mp3 to download (in the other window) and no a player (start, stop).
(I get it some monts ago, but now I can't)
Does somebody could resolve this problem?
i ve posted the url successfully, but it wont play on 'the fb player' as u ve said above.. it opens another page, with a download dialog.. Any details that u wld like to suggest, for it to play the way u ve mentioned ?
I guess it stopped working... I've tried it today and it didn't work... :(
it stop working ...it give us the downloading link..i think www.archive.org still work
thank you but it did not load to play other words it has to download and it it play in youe default player what am i doing wrong
Hello fellas I think so far as FB allows only video files to be uploaded then U can convert your Audio/mp3 file's to a more video format by converting it to lets say flv,mkv video format nd you are as good to upload it. I tried and it worked. I am using Xilisoft video converter ultimate 6 version.
Thanks to the mind of a 'so called software developer'....it worked for me - too easy -
